Mapping Color to Terrains

The Terrain Editor's color picker contains all the gradients you can apply to your terrain. The gradient you select is applied to both the Terrain Canvas and the 3D Preview.

Use the Color Picker button to choose a Color Gradient and the Gradient Bar to set Color Mapping.

To map colors to your Terrain Canvas:

1. Left-click hold on the Color Picker button in the bottom right corner of the Terrain Canvas Frame
   
   
   
   and drag over a gradient in the palette. As you drag over the Gradient Bars, the current bar is highlighted with a white border.
   
   
   
   The gradient you select appears in the Gradient Bar and is mapped to the Terrain Canvas and the 3D Preview.
   
   
2. Drag the Gradient up or down to map the colors to altitudes. The colors at the bottom of the gradient represent the lowest altitude and those at the top represent the highest.
   
   

To return to grayscale, click the Color/Grayscale toggle to switch back to the default gray gradient.
